Sketch #34

Hi there Creative Scrappers! We have a super fun new sketch for you this week!

Sketch #34:

Please welcome this week's Guest Designer{Susan Goetter}

I first learned about scrapbooking in October 2000. At first, I didn’t scrap often, but in 2006, I began to scrapbook several times a week and soon became passionate about this wonderful hobby. I scrapbook because I enjoy the creative aspect, but the biggest reason I scrapbook is to leave lasting memories for my children and grandchildren. I normally include journaling on my layouts. I want to tell the stories behind the photos. Stories that future generations won’t know unless I write it down. I want to share my thought and feelings with my children and grandchildren. Sometimes it’s hard to tell my family what I’m thinking or feeling, but I can write my thoughts and include them on each layout. Most of the time I hide my journaling on a tag or behind a photo, and several times I’ve written so much that I had to put it on the back of the layout!I am currently a Design Team member for My Creative Scrapbook, a kit club. I was recently a guest design team member for another kit club, Kraft Girl Kits. I was selected as the featured designer for the Graphic 45 manufacturer’s blog and I have had layouts published in Scrapbooking and Beyond.
